 It is said that during his first viait, to. Great Britain MT. D, l.. Moody was told by an earnest christian, ssThe world haag yet Co see what God will do with one man fully in His hands," The remark strongly impressed MT. Moody, and may hava Aelp- cd to the wonderful work which .has been accomplished through him. Aside from the results of his own efforts as an eYangel- ists the influence of his Northfeld work must be vastiy gRahteE4 tlaala that which d. naost any other man has been permitted to wield. Here is the girls school, with it's some two hundred and fifty pnpils, and where as many boys arc being prepared the conferences oEschriskians workers put in motion waves O4 Though and imagination which must toaach earth 's ran M ophs In Aome .respects khis ia s6 greateef of all the conferences yet held held here, In nnmbers t b the laERaaks fAer Glling eYs. cry available bed anl cot in IF Ass seminary buildings and the Village some ~ the pee pie had to be sent on Tuesday night t0 Mt Hermon for lodGinga These hun drods came from all parts of America, from England, Ireland and Scotland, and from missions in many foreign Aands. The ad- dresses by MeB5F8s Moody, Clark, Pente- cost, Murphy; Pi6rSon and Gordon, and Professors Green of PPinOseon and Drum m0nd of Scotland haveaiot only stirredland lenthused the large disuCes bat have fur nished instruction aaad food for thought on the great themes ever fresh end ever po- tent. Among the most remarkable ad- dresses have been those of Professor DrummOnd. Aa an apostle of the gos- pei of christian eoGs1aon- -sense hs ia doing wonders in bringing scientific thoughts and methods to bear upon egangelistic work. The EACt that he is both thorough scientist and a dev0us believer gives weight to his words, especially with the class that have been imagining that tue religion of Jesus is g ssuperstita6n which must depart at the approach of science. s ssttlE s 1T
 No address has produced more pro- found impression than that on Tuesday evening by Rev. Josiah Strong, author of the. recent book t'Onr Country" which is attracting 50 much attention. MT. StronG's putting of the opportunities and responsi- bilitieS of American christians and the ob- legations pressing upon all to be fully con- secrated to God, and to unite in efforts to take the continent before it is pre-empted by Satan, could scarcely have failed to move those who heard It 60 new zeal and aCtlv- ity. One of tho reuarkable facts in re- gard to this meeting is that its doings are very fully reported daily in the Boston Journal, and the Springfield Republican and Union. The Tep0rts in the laat two papers will probably ba put in 'Northfeld extras, as were those of the Bible school in July ,and sold by thousands at the news stands. $500 copies of one daily with its reports were sold hase, most of them. to be sent out by mail Those who have not been permitted to hear for themselves could not do better than invest in a''North- field extra" The meetings are to close on Thursday night. Some gof the best ad- dresses are probably yet in reserve. This conference must be potent agency for promoting the werk rso dear to the prime mover in the enteepflse, and to all who love the Lord Jesus-that of bringing Bible truth to bear upon human hearts and lives.
